Reference+Material

Here's a page to share important papers, review articles, relevant news, etc.

>> Fig 2 shows the optical layout of Advanced LIGO and Fig 3 shows the strain sensitivity and fundamental noise sources. >>>
 * Online material from " **Connecting the Electromagnetic and Gravitational Wave Skies in the Era of Advanced LIGO",** held at Princeton University, April 30 - May 4, 2012:  http://pcts.wikispaces.com
 * Some people asked me (Sascha) about having a discussion tomorrow Tuesday on a new paper we had on the arxiv today on modelling precessing binary waveforms: " Towards models of gravitational waveforms from generic binaries: A simple approximate mapping between precessing and non-precessing inspiral signals", by Patricia Schmidt, Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa, arxiv.org: 1207.3088  Please list your name here if you are interested to participate: . I will find an appropriate room - we could do this as a lunch seminar or in the afternoon. The other 2 authors will be here from Thursday (Hannam) and during the Rattle & Shine conference (Schmidt).
